Shell Oil Decided to Deactivate One of Noble Corporation’s Drill Ships Operating for the Company in the Gulf of Mexico.

Noble reported in its fleet status report on Tuesday that Shell had exercised its contractual right to suspend the drill ship Noble Don Taylor, built in 2013, for the remainder of its contract, or 183 days ending on February 25, 2019. The drilling vessel has been working for Shell in the Gulf of Mexico since August 2013. During the idle period, the rig will receive a daily revenue of US $ 420 thousand, Noble said.

The driller also stated that Shell may redeploy the rig at any time within the remaining period of the contract, and the company is free to secure immediate contract opportunities.
